Two WOW! Tags

Good morning, Kirsten here, hope you're all well. Sorry it's been so quiet here for the last while, Lisa & I have been so busy & I've had computer problems. Huge thanks to Jan for holding the fort. I'm going to try to blog most of my May projects today, tomorrow & Thursday. That brings us to class day on Friday & new projects for June. More of that later. 

If you're looking for some inspiration & fantastic demos today, Lisa is on the Hochanda

TV channel with Sue of Imagination Crafts. The One Day Special is a gorgeous set of BRAND NEW Starlights paints..........

Programme times are 9am, 12 noon, 4 & 7pm today.

Today I'd like to show you two tags. I used two of the size #8 That's Crafty Grey/White board tags. These are great, lightweight, but very strong. 

I covered this tag in crumpled tissue paper, then applied clear embossing ink, followed by Sunny Yellow embossing powder from WOW! to the whole tag. I stamped the Stampendous Quill Feather & Spotted Feather in clear embossing ink followed by Bluetiful & British Summer EP, also from WOW!

I applied Jet Black Archival ink through the That's Crafty Brick Wall Dinky Stencil to complete the background. I painted a piece of white card with blue paint, stamped the Hobby Art Birds on Wire on top with clear embossing ink & heat set with Blue Tang EP from WOW! I painted the wooden letters from Craft Emotions with Coral Reef Alchemy Wax by Imagination crafts...........

The background of the second tag is virtually all embossing powders..........

The first layer is crumpled tissue paper again, this time with chalk paint on top, blended with my fingers & a baby wipe..........

I used various stamps & That's Crafty Dinky stencils with different colours of embossing powders to create layers of texture............

The final layer on  the background was Silver Alchemy Wax applied to the raised areas of the tissue paper........

To finish, I used Craft Emotions cutting dies & wooden letters - 'Nature' & the tiny heart were painted with Red & Black Starlights..........
